I mean, you can pre-load it now, but it activates at midnight or whenever.
Based off where you buy it / region the key is from, i guess that's when it actually activates?

Almost certain Steam does a server ping on every initial game launch, so even with an AU key you would still have to wait until midnight.

Well, midnight AU time. Youd be able to connect to an AU VPN every time you wanna launch the game and then you're all set. But at that point, id rather wait the few hours more to be able to just play and not deal with any funny business.

If your computer is on and steam is open, you can install the steam app on your phone and log in.
Once logged in you can remotely initiate the download/install.

I grabbed a pre-order on Green Man Gaming and I can't figure out how to pre-download or pre-load or whatever the hell it's called :(.
Did they give you the key?
You should be able to just enter the key into steam and then go to your library and start the download like any other game.

Awesome, I'm going for Computer Engineering and up at Penn State they supposedly specialize in networking. I'm just a freshman so I'm just in basic engineering classes like physics, calculus, and chem.
Back to the Fallout hype! I'm really excited for this game but I still don't think I will be able to play it right away, I have a good bit of exams coming up and I can never seem to find the time to play A single game.

Preordered Pip Boy edition, so gotta go pick that up after work
Then I have to download a **** ton. I know games have been "doing this" for some time but does it really help piracy? It just annoys me...
grr.
That said, my coworker was conveniently "sick" (much to my chagrin) but at least he did the VPN thing and I got to watch him stream the game. Pretty awesome, especially for me a newb to the Fallout series. I'm excited. :D
Also, should I get a xbox one controller? Or just stick it with keypad and mouse/trackball?

Yea I'm in the same boat, I really want to play tonight :(
I'd say most people on PC play with a mouse and keyboard. If you're more comfortable playing shooters with a controller though, it's not a bad idea. It's kinda a more casual experience, which isn't a bad thing imo.

I get ya. I know i'll be just as limited with school and the fact that my girlfriend will want to watch/play as well so we'll have to agree on a time to play it, which probably wouldnt be that often.

LUCKY!
I didnt know about the Pip Boy edition until it was all sold out, and i'm new to the series too so i didnt feel i was worthy of owning a Pip Boy anyway :P
Maybe consider a Steam controller? I pre ordered one the other day off Amazon since i have prime, and i'm not much of a controller person but it's worth a try :)
But of course, if you already are use to the Xbox controller, maybe that's for you. I just find it nice that the Steam controller is built to utilize the Steam features and act more like an extension of the keyboard and mouse rather then just a controller.

Nice! My ex-room mate used to lose pounds at a time from binge playing for like 12+ hours at a time when a new game would come out. I would leave for work and come back 10 hours later to find he hadn't moved other than to go to the bathroom and get another beer.

I personally use the controller for games that allow it. Feels like a more relaxed experience to me and it's what I am used to from growing up using consoles until about 5 years ago.

Controlling games like Civ 5 with it are a novelty at best, imo.
The Xbox Elite controller however, that's something I could see dropping some bucks on.

What controller do you use? I was thinking of picking up an xbox elite controller, until I realized it's win10 only :( They're really trying to push win10, and it's starting to irritate me.

Wireless xbox 360 controller. I hate dealing with wires when I want to just lean back with my feet up and play a game. I paired it with one of those cheap universal receivers and have never had an issue (just have to manually go in and put the correct driver in as doesn't recognize it). Win10 auto found the right driver for it, so it's no longer even the trivial issue it was.

Sorry, I meant to say the wireless dongle is Win10 only, which is one of the big appeals of upgrading from my wired 360 controller.
Actually, I think the button remapping software might be Win10 only too.

It finished transferring and updating last night once I got home but I was so tired I just went to bed. Now I need to finish doing a switch swap for a friend on his BlackWidow (which is the worst experience I've had btw) before I can even think about playing
I'm already over 20%, I have a physics exam at 1:00-3:05 so hopefully once I get back it should be ready to play! I should be studying for calculus afterwards but I need a break too.

Target's a 25 minute drive my college, I don't think it worth it for a chance to get a Quantum. I'd really like to try and get some though, it'll probably be on eBay for like $100 a bottle.

PC for sure, even with mods coming to consoles the graphical tweaking that you can do on PC with ENB and high resolution texture packs will make the game look stunning as they did for skyrim.

I forgot I upgraded my video card earlier this year. Running Fallout 4 on ultra in glorious 60 FPS. Never had a new game to play at the highest setting before. I have two happy.
Ooh very nice, what resolution are you playing on? I got my laptop hooked up to a 1440p monitor at college. I'm pretty sure laptop will be able to handle it since it has SLI Geforce 965M and i7-5700HQ.

I've got a Dell Ultrasharp 24" and a Radeon R9 200. Playing 60 FPS at 1920x1080. Feels great :D
Sounds great, nothing's better than playing at 60 FPS. I still haven't loaded up the game up, I don't know what I'm waiting. :p

That should be fine, I am running it at ultra, 90fps on 1440p with a 970

I'm hovering around 45 fps or so on complete max settings 2560x1440p, I'm going to turn it down some but it should be fine if I use my laptop display since it has G-sync. I just like playing a 27" much better than a 15.6".

Been using the Pip Boy app, got to say it's pretty awesome but completely superfluous. Having it on your arm would be sooooo cool though :eek:
Still have zero patience for the scraping and building stuff. I HATE crafting games, so all the crafting mechanics in this seem a bit daunting.
Also, si anyone else getting this weird UI issue where the screen makes a window inside the main screen when you talk to people or are in power armor? Is it supposed to cut off like 1/8 of the left and bottom of the screen like that, because it looks like a bug but I honestly am not sure.

Yeah the base building idea seems cool but the concept seems a bit confusing in game. I think I will put some more hours into the game before I learn how to do that stuff.
Haven't had that bug yet.

I ended up putting the settings on High and my laptop handles it fine for 1440p 27", when I play on my laptops 15.6" 3k display and g-sync then ultra settings is amazing, I'm getting about 30 fps but it feels like 60 with g-sync.

Well, they did actually purchase and ended up with a number of problems. Though, a complete uninstall should have been performed (no idea if this was done).
I also had major issues installing on my WD Blue drive, as in the game would not load, then went to the main menu, then quit. I uninstalled after attempting a number of GPU fixes (thinking this was the problem), installed on my main SSD and am now playing happily on High w/60fps at 1080p on my GTX 760.

I've only ever found one fusion core but then again I haven't really been trying. I did find it at the drive-in theater behind the big screen, it has me thinking if all hospitable places that have a workbench and such have a fusion core laying around somewhere.

I've seen a lot of people saying that power armor actually "feels" like power armor in this game. The power source needed for it, how the damage is taken and repaired, not having to equip it in place of other gear, and the whole modding aspect all seems like they did a good job with it.

It's a really fun game, I thoroughly enjoy it. The power armor does give a more power "suit" feel to it, the only thing I wish is that they had a better engine for the game. It's seems like they copy pasted a few things from Skyrim.

Side note about the VPN. You can connect to AUS server and get the game 11 hours early depending on where you live. It does break the Terms of service on steam but from my understanding they more care about people using vpns to buy games in other currencies because it might be cheaper, although i am sure its frowned upon.
Post by: Steezus on Thu, 12 November 2015, 09:34:42
I've played about 11 hours now, game is really fun but I only have the first power armor, my sent me a picture with him already having 4 sets of power armor. I think the overall idea for power armor in this game is to have a set at each of your "bases" not really meant for much travel.

Post by: Steezus on Thu, 12 November 2015, 09:59:46
You can look up the locations of the armor. I believe many of them are just sitting around and don't require quests to obtain them. ( could be wrong on that)
I know wiki has a page with fusion core locations already
I like to first play the game before looking anything up, kind of feels like cheating a little bit. It's makes the game a lot more fun when you randomly come across something cool, once I beat all the quests then I'll go on collecting mode.

Yeah, it looks like there are plenty of other things going on with it too. Ironically, I saw a gaming review site gave the console versions 3/5 while the PC got 4/5, due to serious framerate issues on consoles which sometimes brought the FPS down to single digits or it just freezing randomly. I also dislike this trend of consolifying (which is quite a fun word!) games that should be much better but are being brought down to the lowest common denominator, but as long as people keep pre-ordering and/or buying these games in their poor states, I don't see any changes happening, especially with Bethesda since their games at launch are always buggy as all ****

Just enter "player.moveto 1D162" into the console command and it will teleport you next to Dogmeat, which I have used numerous occasions when I have gotten stuck on a wall/object or Dogmeat flat out disappears on me.

Running it on my gtx 970 at 1440p maxed out at ultra except AA turned down to FSAA and getting around 55-65fps with the occasional drop to 45fps. It's definitely exceeded my expectation as far as optimization goes.

It's "optimized" for running on Nvidia because of heavy tessellation, so a 970 shouldn't have issues. Also, Nvidia is much faster at releasing patches for specific games than AMD is, so it seems that most of the issues are with AMD GPUs currently.

wow hearing about all the graphic cards issues is upsetting. Im currently running it on high settings on a 680m mobile card and hitting 50-60fps. i was actually surprised at how well an older laptop card was handling the game. i would think any of the desktop cards released in the last 2 years would be able to run it easily.Spent about an hour swimming around....for nothing. Just a big empty ocean of boring stuff.
RadX hoarder humble brag
hahaaha nah, just happened to choose underwater breathing/no rads from water as my first perk.

I've found three power armor, just leave them in Sanctuary. I like to play without it. Favorite perk so far, idiot savant, yeeee.yeah the hell with power armor... I have found like 7 or 8 power cores though... Pretty much every raider base has one!!!
Post by: noisyturtle on Fri, 13 November 2015, 19:22:07
But your time is better spent wandering around with RadX in the south west corner of the map (where the bomb fell.) In a span of less than 10 minutes I picked up 3 unique items @ 7 Luck and gained 2 levels. Go there early because at higher levels the enemies will be a lot tougher, and it's probably the most difficult area (that I know of so far)
Post by: Asininity on Sun, 15 November 2015, 11:27:02
Most of my quibbles are based on a personal bias. For example, I'm not completely on board with combat becoming more fast paced and FPS-esque. I'm used to spending almost as much time on my Pip Boy as I am actually laying waste to my enemies. Not anymore. The new system, with hordes of assaulting enemies, VATS not completely stalling time, and actual functioning non-assisted shooting is just a new direction. A lot changed from Fallout 2 to Fallout 3 so I understand, stuff changes. I think my biggest gripe in this area is the loss of VATS. VATS just doesn't play as big of a role, and with time not stopping and only slowing I've found VATS to be a little buggy and difficult to ease efficiently. Sometimes I just opt to aim down the sights and unload, and that's a shame.
Perhaps my biggest gripe is the overhaul of how you communicate with others. I am a fan of a the Mass Effect series but I don't like its four speech options and your character actually talking being in the Fallout universe. I feel like I have both less conversational options and less of a role-playing experience when your character actually talks. I guess I can't be Bostonian with a Irish accent and a drinking problem can I ma? I'm sure there will be a mod to rectify this (and probably VATS too) so that's good.
Now, one of the greatest part of the game is how good the mods are going to be. It's a game that has so much potential for brilliant and absolutely amazing mods. It's everywhere you look.
I really love the big cities, the voice-acting, the characters, the building your own places, the in-depth gun modification, and all of that. I've always been a hoarder in games and the fact that everything is useful now I can feel like my hoarding mentality is finally worth a damn. I'm about eight hours in and I think I've finished maybe... seven or eight quests? I've mostly just been looting, hoarding, and building. I like what's going on, I like the story, and overall I like the mechanics.

On another note, discovered so many cool things. One of which is you CAN paint that wall in Diamond City with a bucket of blood!
Also killed a spooky alien in a cave, but regret not being high enough level to try and pacify or intimidate him instead. I have a feeling he's the only one in the game. His gun's OK, although I think I like the Gamma Gun a little better because of it's huge 'bullets'

You can look up the locations of the armor. I believe many of them are just sitting around and don't require quests to obtain them. ( could be wrong on that)
I know wiki has a page with fusion core locations already
Good to know. I've just been using mine around the settlement for moving big objects. Just got it Saturday night, played probably 8 hours over the weekend. So great. Gotta say, it's come a long way since Fallout v1!

Not true, there are a few sunken wrecks, floating islands, and something else really cool in the ocean that I won't spoil because I think it spawns randomly.

I've explored lots of wrecks and some things but the majority especially around the outskirts was barren. I won't ever go back into the ocean to check, wanna pm that really cool thing? I kinda got bored of the game, but I think I'll go exploring the radiated zone like you said, although last time I was there I had a fun time fighting a glowing deathclaw :(

Well, are 2 sets of power armor - one in the big lake near Sanctuary along with a Mirelurk King. There is a secret hole that leads somewhere deep underground near Salem but I drowned before I could reach the end (probably need the perk.) And there was a ghost ship that appeared where everything inside was floating around and when the sun came up it vanished.
That's all I've found so far aside from a few containers with items at the bottom. There was a weapons small cashe with a Fat man somewhere too but I can't recall where I was on the map.

Main story line beat and i went with the BoS, level 42. Idiot savant perk is OP IMO i did not even find out about it till level 23. Game was fun, going to give it a few months and then play it through another time with mods on and go all melee. Something i also did pick up until late in the game, melee to me is OP. Still like fallout 3 the best.
I went with the Institute, planning on my next run going through with BoS. I'm still planning on doing all the quests before I restart with mods.

I think the ammo you find with the blaster is all the ammo you get for it unfortunately, so use it sparingly.

You can mod the ammo it takes and I don't think it takes a hit.

I haven't had input lag, but I did get some weird stuttering/lag the other day. First time it's happened.
Chameleon armor is absolutely broken though. Anything but a scope is unusable with it and there are so many issues with it and the Pip Boy that it's not even funny.
Also, I should be ashamed of this, but I'm at level 24 and I only just visited Diamond City and still haven't been inside.

Lame. Looking online it appears that the frequency is completely random, and when they are attacked its not a very strong force which is pretty disappointing. As you said though, it shouldn't be long before some mods come out to make attacks more frequent and stronger, which is definitely an advantage of having it on PC :)
Post by: meow a cat on Wed, 25 November 2015, 16:24:12
Mine have been attacked a few times. It's not often, and they never attack with more than four or five people it seems like. So far only Raiders have directly attacked my settlements, but I do see marauding bands of Super Mutants around. When you kill them, they have a note with orders saying to raid.I've been having a ton of fun with this game.

The settlements have repeating quests as well - help, so and so was kidnapped, can you clear this Super Mutant/Raider camp, etc.
I look forward to mods adding stronger raids, and maybe some more variety. I'd like to see packs of deathclaws, or a Behemoth attacking my settlement.
I also look forward to mods that improve the general clunkyness of settlement building.

Aww man, I always get a little bummed seeing Mama Murphy. Quite literally the first mission(s) I completed was killing her. I wanted all her tips on locations before setting out in the Wasteland so I just kept sleeping and giving her more drugs. Poor girl was dead inside of my first hour of playtime :(
Funny thing is I still had her chair quest which was forever uncompleteable due to not being able to turn it in, but apparently Bethesda patched that because after the last patch it disappeared from my quest log.
Too bad, she was the only NPC in the entire game who had a passable Boston accent.

If you fence them in and give them a feeding trough it improves happiness by a lot. If you let them wander around the settlement free it lowers happiness.
Or just kill them and take their meat and skin :))
Speaking of improving happiness, I am in the process of building a Synth Internment/Concentration camp on Spectacle Island and my now Synth-free settlements have never been more efficient!
And oddly enough - no more mysterious murders in the regular settlements, although the Synth-only island now has an over-abundance of equipment failures. I knew those dirty Synth's were trouble.

I named my character Murdoch because I forgot it's spelled Murdock from the A-Team. Sadly they can't say that name.
I spent so much time setting up my home base...only thing is, I have no clue how to get the power working.
And I found Power Armor and a Fat Boy already. Part of me is now scared about what that says about the enemies.
I spent hours on my two bases as well. Gotta hit "Space" on the generators to drag a cable to the item that needs power. There is usually a spot that turns white, showing the cable will connect.

Yeah, I figured out how to do the wire a bit ago. Bases are such a PITA. I wish there was an option to let the AI autobuild the base and manage it. It takes forever to get things set up, crops often won't grow even with people assigned to them, trying to select stuff is often buggy as hell and you won't be able to highlight something unless you get just the right angle, and so on.
Yeah, needs a few updates before the full fun-potential of base building will be realized I think

I'd do that, but I hate cheating this early in a game.
i did beat the main storyline without cheating, but didnt really do many side missions at all. I started over, cheating from the get-go though just to screw around with the game. :rolleyes:

The Institute:
More
Decent. Mass Fusion is boring. Make sure to kill the Assaultrons and Sentry Bots for some sweet junk and a few fusion cores. When it comes time to hack Liberty Prime, just use synth grenades at each stairwell and take a nap. Elder Maxson flew away in a Vertibird (despite me shooting it down) so I had zero time to find his body and get Final Judgement :(
This ending felt the most canon to me. It was kind of nice having a good conversation with Father/Shaun in his final moments, and learning that he reprogrammed the Synth to be him at 10yrs of age. I know, Sole Survivor thinks its been 10 years since the war, but why not just make a baby synth and go back to the way things were pre-war with Shaun as a baby?
And why did they really make Father say "I'd like to go to sleep now." ? ? ? Seriously? Weak sauce.
Anyways, I didn't encounter many bugs during the final questline (Mass Fusion and beyond). it was AFTER. Dear god...why...
First, the battle music would not stop playing after I said goodbye to Shaun. Even fast travelling did not change the music. I had to turn the radio off and on again to fix this issue.
Secondly, there is a bug (according to the Wikia site a known one) where you cannot give Shaun the first junk item he asks for. This renders him unable to build the Wazer Wifle...great...good thing I found the prototype already.
This ending feels really weak. You're director of the Institute, and you get to do nothing but radiant quests AKA do other people's jobs. There's nothing to stand for it, and everyone else is gone. Well...except the farmers I guess. And a more paranoid Diamond City... I don't recommend this ending. 5/10
Brotherhood of Steel
More
This ending was admittedly the most badass of them all. But there seems to be a major glitch (at least for me), when trying to direct Liberty Prime to attack the Institute. Prime just kept walking into the BOS barrier at the airport no matter where I went. I had to fast travel (I chose Prydwen) and just jumped off the side in my power armor. It was still doing it...then somehow the game fixed it and I continued the quest as normal. I think this was the only major hiccup in the ending quest line.
Since you can't kill Elder Maxon you can't get Final Judgement...but I think you unlock T60-MK VI armor, and that sweet jetpack...I like to think it functions as Jet and drains all of your AP and fusion cores. Better have the Action Boy perk leveled up...I only like the jetpack using God Mode and collision disabled...fly anywhere for DAYS like a jetpack from a Sci-Fi movie.
Besides Minutemen I think this faction offers the best post-game quests. Dead drops are annoying, but then again so are finding technical documents since Proctor Quinlan will not shut up about them...Decent ending, but not my favorite. 7/10
Railroad
More
To the best of my knowledge this was the only quest line that didn't have any major bugs in it. It was a little annoying to have to do Mass Fusion again, but whatever. There IS a bug with this actual quest, at the very end if you do not exit the building and instead ride the elevator up to the executive suite you will not only glitch out but the game will not recognize you've left the building no matter where you are. You also can't move, doing so results in instant death unless you have power armor due to the height you fall from.
Anyways, after doing 2 playthroughs everything was relatively smooth. It's all just kind of the same. However actually being on the Prydwen and having Tinker Tom fly the Vertibird is really awesome. To counter the BOS where you kill the Railroad (or maybe it's the Institute quest line), all of the carnage is amazing. THAT, and if you are resourceful like me, raiding the armory is AWESOME. Mini Nukes, X01 helmet...Fat Man...so many goods.
The only thing I didn't like was spawning to the Command Deck and having Elder Maxson and a Knight just light me up immediately. Stimpack at the ready, Explosive Minigun to Knight and Maxson, done in 5 seconds. And FINAL JUDGEMENT GET.
My personal favorite as directly attacking the Institute and BOS was great. I got the most/best weapons with this playthrough so I will continue from this faction. 8.5/10
Minutemen
More
If you like LOL EASY gameplay this is for you...seriously. Way too easy. All you have to do is defend the castle, and you can just wall everything up using foundation flooring. Have about 20+ power at your disposal, hook up 2-3 or more missile turrets, and this is cake. You can even be in workshop mode while the battle is happening. I mean come on...
I was not expecting teleportation INSIDE the walls. But whatever. A few machine gun turrets fixed that.
The BOS attack was even easier. Just worried about my missile turrets. However, there was a Vertibird that was stuck at about 1% damage for 10 minutes, even after 100% Defend the Castle (talk to preston/ronnie) was reached. Just a constant stream of laser musket rifle sounds...it would not go away. I went through the Castle Tunnels and back to fix this. Vertibird gone. WHAT?
Building Artillery to blow up the Prydwen...yawn. Though, watching the Prydwen blow up from the Castle in the morning fog was seriously cool. Then that's the game...
Attack on the Institute plays the same as BOS and Railroad. By now...yawn.
Decent playthrough but this quest line does not make it worth betraying every other faction (you do fail Railroad and all future quests as they give up). 6/10.
TLDR: I don't know why content was so reused for each faction. I guess the goals are similar, but often times it was just doing the same thing over and over. So much for unique playthroughs...I am glad I did it this way. That and these game breaking quest bugs are just ridiculous. As much as I love this game if it wins a GOTY I will be a bit upset. There are more deserving games out there, like MGSV, I'd even say Undertale if you've ever played it. But anyways. As to what's next, GOD MODE FOREVER, MODZ FOREVER.

From previous experience with the Brotherhood- their ideals are xenophobic and they can be exceptionally cruel. Siding with them gives you no hope of controlling them. You are forever a stooge.

I agree. Also, Danse and Piper provide some great benefits when maxed out (20% more damage against irradiated ghouls, androids, and mutated humanoids; double XP when discovering locations and speech checks). Preston is convenient when you are completing minutemen radiant quests (if you are really doing them for whatever reason). Other than that yea, they are more of a burden than help. I'm using them now to scrounge power armor, and make them wear the frame. I am planning to use Strong next...I hear he is a real character...
Today I realized I'm spending 85% of my time collecting junk, being overencumbered, and allocating inventory space which led me to also realize I was not enjoying this experience any longer.
It's time to take a bit of a break from this increasingly tedious experience, and perhaps return in a few months when the mods have worked out their bugs.
For this very reason is why I go god mode for settlement building only. Collecting junk is a big time waster, though it does help your chances with running into random magazines. I only scrounge ammo now.

Really ****ing unexcusable how little Bethesda has bothered to address the crashing problem. Despite all the "fixes", the game is crashing at least hourly much of the time, sometimes every 20 minutes or so.
For all of my hours and gradual modding, I haven't crashed a single time. Have you wiped and reinstalled up to date video drivers?

Then you need to spend a couple hundred hours adding mods and start fresh. :p
I remember on skyrim I got to 234 mods where the game was still stable and didn't completely kill my PC running it. Then my hard drive failed and lost it forever. :(

(http://i.imgur.com/dqDt0ox.png)
Sided with the BOS, ruthless play through style, killing anyone who stood in my way. Only did one Institute mission and regret not just killing Father upon first sight. I put skill points into charisma (very disappointed with the speech options, "ask for more caps"... "Ask for even more") and then sneaky perks, rifleman and all the crafting perks (excpet blacksmith). I just sneak about in my stealthboy power armor and snipe things to death with silenced weapons, pretty OP.
Only really looked at the wiki to figure out how to get the companion perks in the quickest way possible. Still got a few places to discover on the map.
Probably going to put it down for a bit until the first DLC comes out. After completing that I might take up a 2nd play through and tell the minute men SUCK A FAT ONE and leave me the hell alone. Thinking of going for unarmed on survival (currently playing on hard?) and doing the opposite faction choices and see how that comes out. I have a friend who does unarmed and he HATES HATES HATES the super mutant suiciders :p

I've got an AMD card (Rd 390x 4gb) and I get a driver crash whenever I have a mix of rain/fog/nighttime conditions. I'm assuming it's just a ****ty shader or something. Most of the time I'm quick saving like crazy but it's ****ed my progress quite regularly.

I have a GTX980 and the most recent update has dropped my fps from steady 70-65 to 65-45 suddenly (without mods) when I am running about. No crashes necessarily but worse optimization than the previous update. I hope they fix it soon...

But he's short enough you can just jump over him. You can't do that with the other NPC's.

There's just an endless loop of settlements needing help, I guess they added that to keep everyone busy once all the other quests are said and done. I didn't realize this at first and probably did around 20-30 of them waiting to get to the end but then realized there was no end. :p

I had some pretty major issues with FO4 loading from a WD Blue drive I had: it crashed constantly and most often I'd get about 2fps before it hung up. I moved it to a SSD and have not had performance issues since (I have a 970 and a 5930k in my rig). Though, you've made progress in the game, so it could be something else. I'm not sure if this is a fluke, but maybe something to consider.

Yeah, it's been crashing since the start of the game, it just used to be maybe once or twice a day, now its every 20 minutes or so. Don't even have an SSD on hand rn or the money to buy one so I guess I'll just have to wait a bit. Maybe by then they'll have released a DLC...

I've not spent a lot of time building settlements. It just gets annoying, especially with the item snapping to things. Plus not being able to get enough stuff working.
And I never seem to accumulate enough stuff to build everything I want to... At the moment I'm just focusing on upgrading my power armour so it's all green :3

I can't really get behind any of the factions tbh
* Minutemen - sorriest faction I've ever seen....get to "Defend the Castle" and see what I'm talking about. If you want to be one of the "good guys", join the Railroad
* Railroad - kind of like the hipster faction...their playthrough is pretty fun but can be pretty lengthy and sometimes annoying. Even at the end you're reminded that you must live with your choices...kind of a downer.

Just started to play again after a 2 month-ish break and boy oh boy is it enjoyable. I'm only up to where you become a knight in the Brotherhood of Steel but I'm having a blast playing again.
Never did like those folks. Not really sure why. Something just never clicked for me.
I can't really get behind any of the factions tbh
* Minutemen - sorriest faction I've ever seen....get to "Defend the Castle" and see what I'm talking about. If you want to be one of the "good guys", join the Railroad
* Railroad - kind of like the hipster faction...their playthrough is pretty fun but can be pretty lengthy and sometimes annoying. Even at the end you're reminded that you must live with your choices...kind of a downer.
* BoS - arguably the most badass of all four factions but they are so arrogant. Michael Bay would be proud of this faction but honestly I went against BoS solely for the gatling laser and Elder Maxon's battlecoat. Not to mention the best explosion in the game can't be seen if you're allied with BoS and still have the Prydwen up

I agree with most of your analysis, but the Minutemen have a special place in my heart, maybe it's because they were the first faction that you come upon.

Yeah, I just got to that bit. I'm not sure man, I really want to like the minutemen but all they are is 'Go here, help them' over and over. Nice to get out and explore places that I haven't seen though :)

It really boils down to the end-game rewards. IMO The Railroad offers the best prize, although The Institute's prize is pretty sweet aesthetically.
Right, well... I have no idea who the Railroad is yet so when I get to them I will see lol.

So I completed the game with the Institute, didn't really like the ending and went back about 10 hours of gameplay to instead complete it with the BoS instead. I kind of feel the same way about them as jerue does in that they are arrogant, but the only way to complete with the Railroad is if you go with them instead of the Minutemen, which I didn't want to do. I have fierce loyalty to them because they've backed you since the start, so I thought, **** the railroad. Although Deacon is by far the coolest companion, so I was a bit gutted when I had to kill him.
Just completed as the BoS and I think I'm going to carry on like this. Finally swapped out my ISO board for an ANSI one so now I have my tilde too :D Going to keep modding my settlement I think, might brose some mod forums and see what I can find.

Yea, resolutions other than 16:9 are pretty ****ed. I messed with the ini files a while ago trying to get all 3 monitors up, but the hud was totally screwed, all of the dimensions were done by percentage so they become all out if whack.
Well, hoping the next Fallout will properly support custom resolutions.

Lets hope it is on a brand new engine! Still can't believe that they made fallout 4 on the Skyrim engine from over 5 years ago. Well, tbh they said that the game was in development for that long but yeah...

Working in the games industry, hearing this statement makes me laugh :p You make it sound like Fallout 4 was just a mod pack for Skyrim.
For fun, If you were to make a game that has all the same technical features as Skyrim which engine would you chose: a) vanilla Skyrim engine b) brand new engine that has not shipped any games c) fork of the Skyrim engine where you can change only the things which need to be changed.
Taking option B adds years of extra development time. Skryrim engine, the 'Creation Engine', was brand new for Skyrim. Only Skyrim and F4 have ever used it. Event if they have time, virtual no companies have the money to make a full new engine for EVERY game release.
Most companies pick option C. Actually, many companies go to the lengths of doing a public re-branding of their engine! Placebo effect of it being new makes 'gamers' rave about the new engine but it's 75%+ the same code as the previous engine. The money spend on the re-branding has zero effect on the development of the game, but major companies still see positive reactions in sales when gamers think the next game is coming out on a new engine :))
Incremental updates are the way to go. Creation Engine uses Havok for it's physics. The version of Havok inside of Fallout 4 will be many increments higher than the version in Skryim. When you feel dissatisfied with the game you don't go "GOD, THEY NEED A NEW PHYSICS ENGINE. Still can't believe Fallout 4 was made on the Havok engine from over 15 years ago!". Yes, Havok has been used since 2000 ;D

So, when you said about most companies just rebranding per say, is that what DICE/EA have been doing over the past 5 years with their Frostbite engines? I've always thought that they crazy for making a 'new' engine for each iteration of their games.

Didn't really think of it that way, kinda feel like an ass now lol. But you have to admit that some of the limits on that engine such as physics tied to FPS etc shouldn't be a problem in 2015/16 (Not sure if it is the same as FO4 but I know that was the case in Skyrim). I've got no idea how much goes into actually making the engine, but with the new tech out these days most people expect to be able to utilize it, such as 144hz screens etc.
So, when you said about most companies just rebranding per say, is that what DICE/EA have been doing over the past 5 years with their Frostbite engines? I've always thought that they crazy for making a 'new' engine for each iteration of their games.
I hope I didn't sound too mean :p
In the past, Japanese companies would actually start from scratch every time - I think a lot of the Final Fantasy games did that. In reality while being great for innovation it is a huge risk.
For new tech, yes, I do agree that there should be better support - escpecially if a company wants to have a competitive edge on PC. The reality is that only ~1% of users will be able to take advantage of the features so the return on investment is extremely low. e.g. adding good VR support to an existing 'AAA' game could take a small team a few months at the very least. Those people need to paid a salary so the cost needs to be justified.
Physics tied to FPS isn't a 'problem' to the developers. It's just something that isn't worth supporting. There is very little return on investment for the time that will be needed to restructure the core of the engine. I guarantee that the decision to tie the physics and FPS was made by people who knew the consequences.
144hz screens is a bit different. They can only be truly utilised by games that run at incredibly high frame rates. A game like Fallout 4 wouldn't even benefit from the feature and the would require the game to run at a base FPS that is at least 4 times faster. That is pretty much impossible without cutting features such as draw distance, texture quality, AI, etc.
I totally get the logic you take with your points :D Being on the inside I just know a bit more about how it works. There are still LOTS of examples of where developers are just plain lazy and try and get away with releasing crap (*cough* my company *cough*) and it is not acceptable!

Interesting. What don't you like about witcher that you do like about fallout? For me, witcher feels more vibrant, more atmosphere to it: the music for instance. Or the scenery.
I really should try fallout again. But I cannot find the time now. Haven't touch my PS4 for weeks.. too bad.

One of the issues may have been that FO4 doesn't have any inherent mount to get around quickly so they cut down the size of the world map. They will probably add a goddamn vehicle crafting system in the second DLC that will require even more **** collecting and inventory sorting for even more crafting.
Post by: katushkin on Mon, 04 April 2016, 16:21:03
It suffers from being too clustered, whereas Skyrim had a lot of open area allowing each discovery to breath on it's own and have a greater impact as well as allowing for more of them.

Yeah, I get the cluttered bit. There are a hell of a lot of things around the map.
I might have to start another game. I've got to lv44 and I've not got anywhere near as many side quests as I had in Skyrim, I want to go with the railroad and see what happens with them. Or just ignore the main quest completely.

Same thing happened to me. Although it was about 50 hours after the mods were installed. I'm sure it was due to an update. I had to revert back about 8 hours of saves, then re-enable the mods and everything has been fine since.

Bumping a bit dated thread, but I wanted to ask others. Am I the only one who completely surrounds each settlement with fences/walls to keep the baddies out? I couldn't help myself. I installed the settlement size mod so I could actually provide sufficient power, food, beds, and defense. So far it hasn't appeared to affect performance at all.
I couldn't be bothered to build anything. I really didn't enjoy that part of the game. The way things fail to snap together is a pain.

Wow, yeah my settlements look like garbage dumps compared to yours. Thanks for sharing, I'm going to delete all of my settlements now! Haha.
Unfortunately my game crashed pretty hard at one point and I lost like 12 hours of building Sanctuary. Then the mods didn't load back in right... so it doesn't look like that any more.

That's why I'm constantly hitting F5 for quicksaves.

I do. Had to revert back about 12 hours of saves to be able to get it to load up. ='[

Anyone know if the nuka world trailer has any spoilers as I haven't finished the main story.
Other than working with the raiders to raid Sanctuary which is shown in the trailer, I didn't see anything that should affect the main story. So if you haven't gotten Preston to take The Castle there may be some interference with very early quests. It's going to be an entire separate map like Fall Harbor was.

Thanks! Didn't read that much of your text because I don't think I've made it that far but didn't seem like a big spoiler.Anyone know if the nuka world trailer has any spoilers as I haven't finished the main story.

That moment when your favorite settlement is all the way full and you have to delete stuff to build more... :(
You should use the Settlements Expanded (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1062) mod ;)

I will check it out! I have not modded F4 at all yet. Every time I started over in Skyrim I would tell myself that I was not going to mod. I would, then I would stop playing. haha

I only added a few settlement building mods, then proceeded to spend 25+ hours building before deciding to finish the campaign.

haha I feel you. I have probably spent 20+ hours between my 2 main settlements. I STILL have not finished the campaign. I like exploring too much.

I hear that Far Harbor is REALLY good. Once I finish all the quests I will probably get it. I bought F4 at launch and no lifed it for a week and then stopped playing for a long time. Picked it back up about 2 months ago.

Yea, I know how that goes. I got pretty close to the ending and I could tell how it was going to end, so I stopped playing for a few months.

Far Harbor is fantastic. The only complaint I would have is that the story is really concentrated in specific areas, and even after completing every quest in the DLC there were large areas of the island I never had reason to visit. But the story and the way they give the player choice and how it affects the world is great.
Awesome! After I'm done with Dishonored 2, I'll have to pick this up.
